Contract management
Contract management is when the buyer, institution or municipality, ascertains that the seller meets the conditions of the contract between them for the purchase of the construction, goods or services.
How is the contract managed?
The contract specifies how management will be organised.
An example of contract management is the supplier''s obligation to send reports and statistics. The parties to the agreement may also hold regular meetings and interact over the duration of the agreement.
Contract deviation
If a public entity is found by the supplier to have deviated from the details of the contract, the deviations must be recorded and corrective action required.
Serious neglect
If the seller neglects his obligations for a longer period or in a large-scale manner, remedies may be necessary.
The agreement specifies remedies which are called non-performance remedies. They can, for example, be a claim for a discount or damages.
Supplier does not meet requirements
When the contracting authority considers that recommendations for improvements are not respected, it may be necessary to purchase legal services. The seller is also compelled to perform his obligations by the default remedies available.
